Sixty years later as of today, it is difficult for anyone to find fresh evidence about the massacre. The official estimate said merely thousands were killed, but there are sources as mentioned before in this article indicate that would be a total death toll up to 50,000. Do you think the innocent victims who died will be able to rest in peace? Perhaps they had died of no reason. They didn't know why they were chosen to be massacred, and surely they would not like to see their fact of death had been quietly covered up, forever...

Starting from Punggol Point where a memorial plaque was laid by NHB in 1995, we walked along the beach feeling the environment. Quiet and nature as it was next to a strait facing the new town of Johor in the north. A vacant beach of fine sand would be the first sight just after we have walked opposite from the jetty. On the sand, there seemed to be many more paw prints than foot prints as this portion of inland beach looked pretty deserted. A little dense bush in the south set the boundary of the beach. Just outside of the bush, there was a sign post and a boom gate installed by the Government marking the inland beach as a State land.

Roughly we could resemble this area as a part of the execution ground 60 years ago. Some accounts described here as a disposal land of countless corpses that were everywhere as far as eyes can see. Burial work was threatened to stop by the Japanese and the whole area including the bus terminus was announced to be a restricted zone. Hence the bodies were mostly "cleaned" up the wild dogs who lived in the bush. To our surprise, 60 years later as of today, there still lived so many dogs around as suggested by the numerous paw prints on the sand!

At the most west end of the beach, a fence was erected to separate the main road (where the bus terminus was) and the beach. Right in the middle of the fence placed a small "temple" (or shrine) painted in red-color and made of wooden boards. This is quite an uncommon sight as a small shrine having more than just the Earth God was put at this rural area. It looked as if the shrine was hastily setup for some urgent purposes ( click here to see the photo , don worry its nth scary )

On the shore of wet sand near the strait, there is a very important sign that may go unnoticed by the public. By comparing to the photos taken decades ago and what appears as it is now, this stretch of sea shore was used to be a sandy beach, just like the inland area. According to the historical records, this is exactly where the massacre took place killing thousands of Chinese men during the Operation Clean-up. The victims were shot and bayoneted so near to the sea because the bodies would be washed off by the sea wave easily in high tide, as intended by the Japanese to keep the massacre secret. Nowadays this area running along the full skirt of the beach has got artificially covered up by many boulders. In some photos, you can see the covering is so artificially until the beach was paved so symmetrically and so levelly in steps. This project should have cost certain amount of money - not a small sum. And you don't see any other beach in Singapore was done up like that. Is this a coincidence of a designer's idea in a environmental beautifying program or a Government conspiracy to cover up something?

We have collected an evidence of timing. Look at the last photo , on which sprayed a date - 22-9-2000. We assume that is the completion date of the beach reconstruction project. The news about a fisherman digging earthworms found instead skeletons was reported on 10-2-1998. So possibly, after the news, from the time that the Government decided to remedy on this area to the completion of this project, it took about 1.5 year. This is approximately the right amount of time taken for such scale of beach-paving project according to a civil engineering friend. It consequently shows that covering the beach is due to the fact that skeletons can be found so easily in the depth of earthworms.

On the other hands, if the skeletons were merely disposed less than a meter deep, then why not the Government exhume them all? This obviously relates to the estimate number of how many remains are there. If they were in the range of dozens to hundreds, no problems, the job is still possible. But what if it is more beyond that (thousands or even tens of thousands)? This somehow backs up a belief that a LARGE number of remains are underneath the boulders. Likewise, this belief proves that a very LARGE number of Chinese men had got slaughtered there as a matter of fact. This large figure dissuades any thought of digging over the ground massively.

60 years ago ,this split used to be a favorite killing spot with the victims lined up at the edges and fell down when they got shot is used to dispose of the bodies of the dead..When the high tide comes , they would be washed off into the sea. he spit has now been turned into a concrete drainage

so basically what that i had posted is just a tip of the ice berg , u can readthem more at http://www.spi.com.sg/spi_files/index.htm

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER..
